Volume 1 Huangquan December, Chapter 46: Fake Hands for Others
As soon as he entered the door, a strange smell hit his face. Although the body had been removed, the entire room was not cleaned in order to preserve the scene. There was no ventilation in the room, and there was a fishy smell mixed with a damp musty smell.
.Maybe it’s because it’s been too long, so it’s not very pungent, but it’s definitely not pleasant. The black blood stains solidified on the ground are criss-crossing like water veins, and the source can be roughly determined.
Liangyue Jun told them, and the witness also said that he saw the silly aunt opening the door for someone in the afternoon, fearing that she had turned into a monster and lurked in the house like this.
There were blood spatters on the low corners and table legs. Perhaps someone was bitten to death in his dream. The man who woke up fought with the monster, but failed. Shi Wuqi also found a blood stain in the kitchen.
Liang Yuejun said that the silly aunt died there. Maybe she got thirsty in the middle of the night and got up to look for water.
There were still too few clues. We had to wait until we got to the ice cellar and see the appearance of the corpses with our own eyes.
At noon, they randomly found a restaurant to fill their bellies. In fact, no one felt that it was time to eat. Even Aluan didn't complain about being hungry. It was just that when it was time to eat, they felt it was inappropriate not to eat. While waiting for the waiter to serve the food, Shan Hai asked
Mr. Liangyue, where is the document transferring the land deed? Fortunately, this thing is with Mr. Liangyue - he asked for it. The rich man dared not speak out in anger, and would not let him go. He would just delay it any longer.
I'm afraid there is no excuse to detain him for investigation.
The man who headed the house had been studying for two years and knew some words, but he couldn't write. The description in the document was simple and direct, so there was little chance that they would be deceived. The head's fingerprints were clearly printed on the end of the paper.
"What if the rich man really sent someone to kill him?"
Mu Wan did not rule out this suspicion. She had always been very prejudiced against being an official. But Liang Yuejun shook her head and said:
"The rich man has been thinking about the little girl of the Tan family for a long time, but now that she has been kidnapped by a monster, he himself is filled with hatred."
At this time, the waiter came over with a plate. So the few people stopped discussing and used their chopsticks. The food was not unpleasant or delicious, but it just tasted like chewing gum. When you eat it, it feels like you haven't eaten anything.
I have seen the world, but the scene in the morning had some effect on my appetite.
After dinner, Mr. Liang Yue still took them with him. When meeting his father and fellow villagers, both sides still saluted politely.
The ice cellar was located near the mountainous area, at the other end of the village. The hole was dug very deep, and they walked carefully for a long time. They never thought that there was a large amount of ice stored here, and the ice cubes of different shapes were stacked together. Liang Yuejun said,
These are all dug out from the mountains or rivers by the villagers in winter, and they work together to store them here.
Afraid that the heat of the fire would melt the ice, Lord Bai Li raised his fan and waved it gently. The torches in Shan Hai and Mu Wan's hands turned into blue light. The light was still bright, but it made people feel cold.
Going deeper, they saw the five corpses as they wished.
Mr. Liangyue said that he had injected spiritual power, which was true. Even after a few months, they still maintained the appearance they had at that time and had not rotted. There was no peculiar smell in the entire ice cellar. Both old men had their chests pierced with sharp objects.
His heart was injured and he died. The woman's throat was stabbed and her blood vessels were broken. The man was even worse. He was stabbed into two eyes and his brain was penetrated by a sharp object. And the silly aunt who died at the door of the kitchen had printed on her clothes
Blood, but no scars.
Just looking like this, it looks like the work of some kind of beast or monster with sharp fangs.
"They said, what kind of monster is the monster that kidnapped Miss Tange?"
"Dog demon." Liangyue-kun answered truthfully.
It does look like the marks left by canine teeth. But
I always feel strange.
Shi Wuqi stretched out his hand and gestured over the corpses, and Shanhai also circled the wooden frame a few times. Mu Wan stood beside him, looking back and forth at the stored ice cubes. Shi Wuqi motioned to Shanhai to help him, and added
Miss Qi helped and turned over several corpses. Only then did they discover that the injury to the silly aunt was on her back.
During the whole process, Shan Hai's movements were cautious and unscrupulous, and Shi Wuqi went straight to it as if he had no feeling at all, touching the body and breaking it apart, like picking vegetables at the market.
"There's a problem."
He raised his hand and straightened the thumb and index finger of his right hand.
Liang Yuejun turned to look at him: "It doesn't matter if you say so."
"If they are made by the same monster, the distance between the canine teeth has changed somewhat. Is the girl's name Tan Ge? Taking Tan Ge's father as an example, the distance between the two teeth is exactly the distance between a person's eyes. But this does not affect her
My mother’s thin neck has shrunk just on both sides of her throat. As for the two old people, there is not much difference. It’s just that the cross-sectional shape of the bite marks is slightly different.”
"Master Shi is right," Shan Hai frowned, and then said, "Judging from the weaker dog demons I have seen, it is not a big problem to crush a person's skull, but the girl's father's eye sockets were not damaged.
, there is no bone residue at all. As for the aunt who was stabbed in the back, the two holes just avoided the hard ribs and stabbed straight into the heart."
"Oh? Are you saying that this matter was not caused by monsters?"
"It's not so absolute." Shi Wuqi spread out a hand stained with coagulated blood, "It's not safe, it's a monster that turned into a human. But I don't think it's necessary. I can practice turning into a human, so it's still useful."
Is it so troublesome?"
When they were saying these words, Mu Wan led Dai Luan around and looked at the body carefully. She also echoed:
"Indeed, if you say it's a dog monster, I'm afraid it's untenable. Monsters hurt people without any rules, and their power is definitely superior to humans, but these moves are fatal, and they are more like the actions of assassins who have a very good understanding of human structure.
"
Dai Luan stretched out her hand several times to touch the corpse's arm, but she always remembered Master Ru Yuejun's instructions and had to give up.
Liang Yuejun walked up to Shanhai, frowning, turning his face sideways, with a solemn expression.
"According to Taoist Master and everyone else's wishes, are the entire Tan family harmed by traitors?"
"We are not sure. But, judging from the current situation, it is indeed the case. Why don't we go to the ground first, and then you can lend us the contract to take a look."
When they walked up to it, it was almost dusk, and the light was a little darker, but it did not affect the writing. They passed the paper around and read it several times, but they all saw through it, and they couldn't see anything.
"Let me take a look?" Dai Luan stretched out her head and ran around among the people chasing the piece of paper.
"Little girl, please don't cause trouble. Your master has a very bad headache." Shi Wuqi smiled bitterly and handed the paper to Shan Hai.
Dai Luan ran to Shan Hai again, pulled hard on the hem of his clothes, and swayed him like a swing.
"Mountains and seas, show me - look -"
"Don't make trouble."
He glanced at the paper a few more times. It was well preserved by Liang Yuejun and was relatively new. He sat on a stone and sighed softly.
"Mountains and seas," Ah Luan said again, "Isn't the blood of dead people black?"
"That's natural."
Liang Yuejun glanced at her.
"But I just saw that the man's thumb was still bright red."
At this time, everyone was looking at her. She was still a little uncomfortable being stared at by several pairs of eyes.
"What's wrong? Maybe I saw it wrong."
Shan Hai suddenly stood up and stared at the last fingerprint, almost seeing through it.
Too careless.
Unexpectedly, the problem was not the text itself, but the last fingerprint. With Aluan's reminder, he unexpectedly discovered the most critical and decisive evidence.
In all documents and contracts, the content is written first, and then signed or pressed with the finger. But in this letter, the ink writing happened to be covered on the cinnabar of the fingerprint. Although the pen is very thin, the characters are very small, and only a few strokes are covered.
above, but that's enough to illustrate the problem.
"Liangyue-kun, you see, this is obviously killing people first and taking the seal later."
"That makes sense. Then, new problems will arise."
"Any more questions?" Mu Wan asked him.
"How to prove that this is not the work of a dog demon?"
"this"
A group of people were speechless.
It sounds really absurd, and there is no such inference. But if you think about it for a moment, you will understand that once a person is sure that it was done by a monster, what he needs to do is to prove that it was done by a person. But the most important thing -
The murderer's motive for the murder, especially the important murder weapon, has no clue at all.
In comparison, someone who is clearly a human is much more suspicious.
"If we can find the murder weapon, we will get twice the result with half the effort." Mu Wan thought.
"Why don't we change the angle - let's go up the mountain to find the dog demon and use its tooth marks to compare, and we can clear the suspicion."
"You, Master Bai Skeleton, are so proud that people come just as they say? Only monsters don't bother to prove their innocence to others."
"Knock him unconscious and tie him up!"
Dai Luan came up with a blind idea. Shan Hai glared angrily:
"Isn't that putting the cart before the horse?"
There was a lot of talk, but no one could come up with the discussion. It was getting dark, and Liangyue-kun was not in a hurry, so he just sat aside and watched the excitement. The temperature also dropped, and the evening breeze came from a distance with a faint smell of lake water.
Come on. After a few people argued for a while, Shan Hai suddenly remembered something, turned around and asked Mu Wan:
"Isn't your Tengu, strictly speaking, also a dog demon?"
Mu Wan was stunned.
"What you said seems to make some sense."
"Could it be smaller?"
"It's not difficult."
——Since you can't invite me, you can find a substitute. It's not far behind. The hotly debated topic has reached a consensus. Mu Wan raised his hand and raised his arm. In the last light of the setting sun,
, suddenly on her white arms
A network of black and red intertwined veins flashed out. But it disappeared in just a moment. The Tengu, who felt the resonance of his blood, appeared in the sky, breaking through the burning clouds, and his snow-white body hung with golden flames like residual clouds swooping down.
And down.
When it landed next to them, it was still a huge, terrifying-looking thing. But it was clean, full of energy, and glowed softly in the dark scene, making people feel at ease looking at it.
Dai Luan's head was embedded in the white dog hair.
